Structured and elegant reds with a deep ruby robe, firm yet melted tannins and a dense palate with fine acidity, showing signature aromas of red fruits (morello cherry, raspberry), spices, pepper and Alpine mineral notes. Fine Valaisan ageing potential. Star of the great Valaisan reds on the sun-drenched slopes of the Swiss Rhône, a typical expression of Alpine terroir. Valaisan synonym for Cornalin, native black grape from Valais, identical to Cornalin from the Aosta Valley.
